One "advantage" for the Pro model is it is rated for "magnum" loads->150 gr. powder loads. Disadvantage-it's extremely HEAVY!! Would suggest a shooting stick be used.

I bought that one off of Craigslist for $200. Very nice gun. Super nice guy, too. Just like the add said, came with the box, sling, and scope with high rise mounts. I got a great deal. It looks brand new.
